RECOMMENDATIONS

To ensure there is ample power provided to the Sentry 3 FIPS device, insert it directly into a USB 2.0/3.0 port on your notebook or desktop, as seen in Figure 1.3. Avoid connecting it to any peripheral device(s) that may feature a USB port, such as a keyboard or USB-powered hub, as seen in Figure 1.4.

SETUP (Windows Environment)

Step 1. Insert the Sentry 3 FIPS into an available USB port on your notebook or desktop and wait for Windows to detect it.

• Windows Vista/7/8/10 users will receive a device driver notification as seen in Figure 2.1.

Once the new hardware detection is complete, Windows will prompt you to begin the initialization process.

• Windows Vista/7/8/10 users will see an AutoPlay window similar to the one in Figure 2.2.

Step 2. Select the option ‘Run Sentry3FIPS.exe’

If Windows does not AutoPlay, you can browse to the CD-ROM partition (Figure 2.3) and manually execute the Sentry 3 FIPS program. This will also start the initialization process.

DEVICE INITIALIZATION (Windows Environment)

Sentry 3 FIPS can be initialized one of two ways: Stand-alone or managed. Upon running DataLocker.exe you will be prompted to create a user password.

1. Select a password. Non-managed and stand-alone drives will require a password with the following criteria (Figure 3.1):

Minimum of eight (8) characters, including 1 upper-case, 1 lower-case, & 1 digit

2. Once a password has been selected (and it meets the specified criteria), you must enter it a second time in the 'Confirm Password' text box to ensure proper entry.

3. Click the checkbox to accept the warranty statement.

4. Click [Confirm] to complete initialization.

Note: Managed drives will require passwords that meet the criteria set forth in the policy of the SafeConsole server.

DEVICE USAGE (Windows Environment)

With each insertion of the Sentry 3 FIPS, you will be prompted to enter the password created during the initialization process (Figure 4.1). During the login process, if an invalid password is entered (Figure 4.2), you will be given another opportunity to enter the correct password; note that there is a built-in security feature that tracks the number of invalid login attempts and if this number reaches the pre-configured value of 10 (maximum number of invalid logins), the Sentry 3 FIPS will lock the user out and require a device reset. Figure 4.3 (Note: Prior to locking the device with 10 invalid password attempts, the login counter will reset with a successful login.)
